Enjoy the beautiful weather, but remember—ticks are active in the warmth too! While most ticks are harmless, follow these steps to keep your family safe:

1. Dress Smart: Wear long sleeves and tuck pants into socks to minimize skin exposure.
2. Layer Up: Apply sunscreen first, then insect repellent.
3. Stay on the Path: Avoid tall grass and brush by sticking to the center of trails.
4. Daily Checks: Perform a thorough tick check every evening. Removing a tick within 36 hours significantly reduces the risk of Lyme disease.

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine! ☀️
